Crystals... Do they actually do anything or are they just beautiful additions to home décor?

They're definitely one of the trendiest wellness topics of the moment. If you're not already a crystal fan you’ve probably seen them all over social media and wondered if they were another wellness fad… Well are they? Do they actually have wellness and healing properties?

What can crystals do?

Mytrae Meliana, MFT, CHT, crystal healer and therapist, believes that they most certainly work and their benefits are vast and beyond what you may have initially thought.

"Crystals are high-vibrational beings that work on multiple levels of your body: physical, emotions, mind, energy, and spirit," according to Meliana.

She also quoted that they lead to improved energy, enhanced happiness, heightened creativity and reduced negative energy are only the start… Where do we sign up?!?

What are crystals?

To keep It simple: crystals are stones. Or more specifically, solid substances with atoms arranged in highly-ordered patterns. They tend to be shiny, jagged, shiny and translucent. Crystals have traces of different minerals, which vibrate at different frequencies to address different concerns.

Do they actually work? How?

Using crystals to heal isn’t a new concept – Although it is now more trendy and mainstream.. "Crystals have been used in healing for centuries in ancient civilizations," said Meliana, specifically citing ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece.

How they work is fairly easy to grasp. Crystals have a vibration and an energy that they let off, and so do you. When you align the two, you gain the beneficial outcome that the specific crystal provides.
